      I can already get in to Europe, without having to pay to get one of the local girls drunk

        DP read it in a newspaper and therefore knows it to be wholly accurate.

          It was the Daily Mail. It was under the article about butterflies giving you cancer if you look at them.

            So you do some tulipty English course here (because you don't speak English), have a sprog and you're in for life.
            According to this, you may not even need a child.

            Your second paragraph is rubbish really, sorry, it's just not true, UK immigration is very tough now, EU law and HRA get in the way, but aside from that it is a police state if u r illegal here and no fun at all..
            As an ordinary bloke - I can't really tell where the truth of this lies - on the one hand, I don't care for Dim's Daily Wail sensibilities, but on the other hand, at an anecdotal level the idea that UK immigration is very tough now seems laughable. In a relatively short time I've noticed that entire floors of large clientco buildings are full of Bobs, the car washes are all staffed by eager hardworking folks who weren't in the UK 10 years (probably even 5) ago, almost no shops, pubs or hotels have UK born staff. In many ways this has advantages - the EU staff in many of these places have replaced surly gits, but it seems like a huge change. There also seem to be an enormous number of Bobs who aren't here on ICTs but have remained.

            As for being illegal - I accept it ain't much fun if caught - but realistically what are the chances of that? and even that propaganda docu-soap about the immigration boot boys shows them giving people who can't furnish a passport a little bit of paper telling them to hand themselves in later - and admits that they never do.

              Up here there was very little change until maybe about 4 years ago, every large office building has groups of bobs hanging around outside smoking through the day.
